I’m actually caught up watching. And writing. And nearly there in uploading. It’s writing these things that I’m beyond in.
Cinthia Moreno, May Flowers, Mini Abismo Negro, Ozz vs El Elegido, Mari Apache, Mascarita Divina, Pimpinela Escarlata – seen better of this thing. Ozz was having a good match of doing nothing until Elegido dropped him on his head. Life sucks.
Aerostar & Fabi Apache vs Billy Boy & Sexy Star – Sexi won clean and threw a big celebration and everyone knew it was a big deal because they know Sexi never beat Fabi clean (until now.) So well done and I bet zero writers were involved, because it’s a simple story.
El Mesías vs Cibernético – bad and cold. I’d wager large sums of money that this match wasn’t booked as a double countout but was changed that way. For a guy who’s been pushed super hard as a the hero of AAA for a year now, Mesias really isn’t that. He’s less over than he was six months ago (aka before Wagner showed up.)
Dr. Wagner Jr., Electroshock, Silver King vs Cuervo, Escoria, Zorro – surprised the dog didn’t end up being one of the other team here. If Wagner and company are meant to be rudos, perhaps they should be facing tecnicos? Crazy.
Extreme Tiger vs Jack Evans, Teddy Hart, Alex Koslov, Rocky Romero, Sugi in a cage match where the loser leaves town and the winner is number one contenders for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship – again, got better without Teddy, and was the best at making the last bit dramatic of the three consecutive cage matches they’ve shown.
Sugi’s a goofball. Kinda feel sorry for him knowing he’s going to be out, but it’s tough after too seeing how he did it.
Editing appeared to remove the Alex/Roldan issues, which is even more odd given where they went with it.

Do fabi apache and sexy star have real life issues or is it just a work?
Aero Star actually invented that spot where you step on the second rope inside the ring to boost yourself into a dive. He did it into a somersault on the 2/15 Ecatepec taping in the AAA MOTY. Dorada copied the spot and is actually doing it waaaaaaaaaaay better than Aero Star ever has. So Aero Star took it one step further on this taping and invented the frozen plancha (that’s what I’ll call it since he appears frozen in mid-air). Absolutely INCREDIBLE MOVE!
And of course since everything is about one-upmanship, Rey Cometa took it FIFTEEN THOUSAND STEPS FURTHER on Cadena Tres yesterday which is now on my youtube.
AAA would still be fun to watch if they always had two openers like this show where people were allowed to go all out. It just isn’t like that any more though. It’s down to one match per show (always the opener) where either you get minis or flyers and the rest is full of garbage.
Actually a better name for that dive would be whatever those things are called from Sonic The Hedgehog 2. If you remember the Chemical Plant level they would shoot these things from the ground, they’d hang in mid-air and then drop down to kill you unless you sped away fast enough.
Now that I think about it, that might not have been the right level. Maybe it was the boss from that level? At some point I know Sonic has to run as things come up from underground and then come back down after hanging and try to explode on him.
